Ford Recalls Half a Million SUVs because Trim Can Fall Off

  • Ford recalled 556,043 vehicles on May 27, 2025, including 63,898 2025 Mavericks and 492,145 2016-2017 Explorers, due to airbag and structural defects.
  • The recall followed reports to NHTSA and investigations starting in 2019, with current studies showing trim adhesion failures causing safety concerns.
  • The door trim on older Explorers can detach while driving, creating hazardous debris and risking occupant injury from unclear airbag status indicators.
  • Ford stated it is unaware of accidents related to the defect and will mail owner notifications starting June 9, 2025, with free repairs at dealerships.
  • This recall adds to several Ford safety actions this year and highlights ongoing challenges resolving vehicle component adhesion problems.
